Install the antenna on a wall or a pole using the WS-MB-WALLEXT01 extension bracket kit for 90 degree tilt.

About this task

The WS-MB-WALLEXT01 (part number 30515) extension bracket is used to extend the antenna tilt up to 90 degrees, when mounted on a wall or a pole. The extension bracket supports the following antennas:

Note

The antennas ship with a standard mounting kit that allows for a 70 degree tilt. The wall extension bracket kit is an optional accessory that is used with the standard mounting kit to increase the antenna tilt, up to 90 degrees. The wall extension kit can only be used with the main mounting kit.

The following hardware is required for installing the antenna to a wall or to a pole:

Main mounting kit hardware requirements:

One antenna bracket attachment
One elevation adjustable bracket
One azimuth adjustable bracket
Four ¼ in. – 20 × ¾ carriage bolts
Six ¼ in. – 20 hex nuts
Six ¼ in. – 20 spring lock washers
Six ¼ in. – 20 flat washers

3. Using two ¼ in. – 20 × ¾ carriage bolts, ¼ in. spring lock washers, ¼ in. flat lock washers, and ¼ in. – 20 hex nuts as shown in Bracket extension and aluminum tube placement, attach the extension bracket to the elevation bracket.
  Note
  The carriage bolts must run through the aluminum tubes.
The elevation adjustable bracket is now attached to one end of the extension bracket.
Attach the other end of the extension bracket to the antenna bracket attachment.
1. Align the end holes of one end of the extension bracket with the end holes on the antenna bracket attachment.
2. Place the 2.33 in. long aluminum tube on the extension bracket and the antenna bracket attachment end holes.
3. Using one ¼ in. – 20 × ¾ carriage bolt, ¼ in. spring lock washer, ¼ in. flat lock washer, and ¼ in. – 20 hex nut, attach the bracket extension to the antenna bracket.
For wall installations, using the azimuth bracket attachment as a template, mark and drill four holes.
Attach the elevation adjustable bracket to the azimuth bracket attachment.
1. Place the 3.47 in. long aluminum tube on the elevation adjustable bracket attachment.
2. Hold the aluminum tube in place and place the azimuth bracket attachment over the elevation adjustable bracket.
3. Using one ¼ in. – 20 × ½ hex bolt, ¼ in. spring lock washer, ¼ in. flat lock washer, and ¼ in. – 20 hex nut, attach the aluminum tube and the elevation bracket to the azimuth bracket.
You must now have all the bracket parts and the extension arm attached to the access point.
Use four screws and screw in-anchors to attach the azimuth bracket attachment to the wall.
